The March/April issue of INCLEAN is out now! 

In this edition of the magazine, we take a look at Training and Education in the cleaning sector.

A common theme throughout our training focus is the need for greater staff communication and engagement. Retention remains a  challenge for many in the cleaning industry due largely to the physically demanding nature of the role, the unconventional working hours and the lack of career development and professional pathways.

Robert Kravitz provides some tips for addressing worker turnover on page 22 and Rubbermaid’s Daniel Balas talks about engaging an ageing workforce on page 18.

Workforce Guardian’s Charles Watson gives us a slightly different take on education, proposing that in order to develop and improve workplace culture (and subsequently improve retention), business owners and managers need to develop their own skills.

Also in this issue Truvox’s Gordon McVean discusses looking beyond price in the procurement process, while GECA’s Emma Berthold explains how to make sense of sustainability labels.
